This photo shows a small bronze figure, maybe a winged Victory. Made in 1863–64 by Louise Laffon, a French photographer. It’s one of the few known works by her. The Victoria and Albert Museum first collected photos in 1852. They used them to teach artists and students. Laffon’s piece was overlooked until now. Look up the artist next: Laffon, Louise.
